The most active is not necessarily the most spiritual. |

As far as I can see, only three groups of Christians could make a reasonable case to be the "true" Christians, depending on interpretation: 1. Members of the official Christian church created by Peter at the request of Jesus himself: Roman Catholics. 2. Denominations based on taking the official Christian "holy book", the Bible, as literally as possible: Calvinists and other "inerrantists". 3. Denominations based on the actual teachings of Jesus, inferred from direct quotes attributed to him in the gospels (assuming their accuracy) - which would involve rejecting Paulianity and ignoring any part of the Old Testament not specifically endorsed by Jesus. You've specifically rejected 1 and 2, and somehow I doubt that 3 fits either. So, what is your definition of a "true" Christian? |
